Universe design question

Hello All,
I have 3 tables in my schema....where
Vk table         LPC vparty table               LPC Vparty S table
PV_ id                        LPC V_id                              LPC V_id
S_id                            PP_ID                                  R_code
V_id                           B_ID                                      T_nbr
B_id                          PV_id                                     st_dt
                                                                              Lastdate_ts
                                                                                B_id
Vk table -> LPC vparty join by   PV_ID
LPC vparty table -> LPC Vparty S table   join by LPC V_id
Now i am trying to pull V_id from VK table and R_code from LPC vparty S table it gives me incompatible objects. I need these to objects in my report.
Can anyone help me with a solution...The only way VK table and LPC V party S table can be linked is by LPC vparty table.
Thanks All.
Regards...

Hi..Your DF have three tables
Vk table -> LPC vparty join by PV_ID
LPC vparty table -> LPC Vparty S table join by LPC V_id
There is no link b/w and no common objects in these two tables (VK table and LPC vparty S table) so while trying to pull from these tables related field’s into the report getting incompatible objects message.
To avoid this, use different data provider option in the report.
Include VK table related objects in one data provider, and include LPC vparty S table related objects in one data provider.
If you use any common objects merge both data providers objects and use merged objects in the
report.

Universe Design Question - Time dimension

Hi,
Please help me with universe design question here.
I have to make line graph
Y- axis time dimension hh24:mi:ss
y - axis Date dimension YYYYMM
The data is like this
progname end_date

I need to take time portion of each month and take average of it and that is printed on graph.
I just wonder how I get average of time. The tool seems like can not get average of time as this is not a number.
Then I converted time portion into seconds and did the average but my requirement is to show time on line graph not in seconds.
Please give some idea.
Thanks.

Hi Afzal,
I know how to segregate the date part and the time part. I just wonder how I get average of time. The tool seems like can not get average of time as this is not a number.
Then I converted time portion into seconds and did the average but my requirement is to show time on line graph not in seconds.
Please give some idea.

URGENT: Connecting BPC 10.0 with BI4.0, with Universe Design Tool

Hi all,
I have quite an urgent question that I need some guidance from all you SAP gurus on!
Is it possible to connect BPC 10 to BI4 using Universe Design Tool? We are under the impression very few people have connected these pieces of software together, if at all. It is very important to a Project I am on at the moment as to whether it is possible so any advice would be very much appreciated.
So far we have done..
Software is installed - Universe Design Tool (UDT)
Logins have been created for BPC 10
Opened up UDT and go through the Wizard;
Connection name is BPC CCONNECTION
Select data access driver: Business Planning and Consolidation OLE DB for OLAP
Enter the server address for BPC 10 (This is the URL that we log in to the BPC Admin Console)
After we try to continue, we get the error as follows:
[Image of error|http://s9.postimage.org/pxk8raci7/UDT_Screen1.jpg]
If anyone could give any kind of advice I would really apprecaite it!
Nick

Hi Nick,
If you are trying to connect BPC 10 NW to BI 4.0 then I have some suggestions. We did this in our SAP EPM 10 training. In the Admin go to the model tab , select your model and edit it. Select the check box Use as a source. This creates a transient query in the backend.. Then we designed the connection in IDT (Information Design tool). Login to IDT and create a new project. Now Right click on the project and create a new OLAP connection. Select SAP BICS as driver selection. Provide the server details and user aunthetication. Select specify a cube in connection option. Now You can select your model <MODELNAME>_B folder and u will see one query with /CPMB/TQ_XXXX. Test your connection and publish your connection to repository . Now you can use this connection for creating Interactive Analysis (Webi Report). I am not sure about the reporting client you wish to use.
Hope this Helps

OR between groups in Row-Restrictions, priority - Universe Design

Old School Univers Design, no SAP source, but plain Oracle
Two Questions here
1 - Priority in rowrestrictions
from documentation:
u201CYou can specify which restriction to apply to a user that belongs to multiple groups using a universe. For example a user belongs to two groups, Sales with a restriction to view 5000 rows of data, and Marketing to view 10000 rows. When the user refreshes a report, the restriction associated with the lowest level group is applied. In the example above, if the Sales group had order 1 and Marketing had order 2, the restriction from marketing (10000) would be used.u201D
I read in the documentation for Rowrestrictions, that the restriction on top of the order list will be the one kicking in, in case of a huser having two conflicting restrictions.
Does anyone have experience with this ?
Does it work ?
My experience is that its not working. Both rowrestrictions gets into the SQL with AND between as shown
AND ( FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (030,033,090,805,041,062,048)
AND FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (041,048,062)
the first line is my new restriction with priority 1,
the second line is the other restriction with priority 6
2 - OR between groups
there is a Restriction option in Manage Rowrestrictions , where you can spesify Rowrestriction Combinations using AND or OR.
I have not been able to have this working.
Anyone having a positive experience here ? Or have I misunderstood what this actually means.
I would expect
WHERE ( FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (030,033,090,805,041,062,048)
OR FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (041,048,062)
What I get is
( FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (030,033,090,805,041,062,048)
AND FLEX_SEGMENT5.FLEX_VALUE IN (041,048,062)
Is this a known bug ?
I have tried this in WEBI 3.1 and R2

Hello,
In fact, Priority is used for universe overload where only one overload among several might apply. This is the case for connection overloads, table mappings..., but not for row restrictions.
For row restrictions, you have AND/OR aggregation operators. In Universe design tool, you have the option to choose how Row restriction will aggregate (click the "cog" icon):
+ Combine row restrictions using AND
+ Combine row restrictions using AND within group hierarchies and OR between groups
In the first case, all row restrictions that might apply to a user will be aggregated with AND operators.
In the second case, row restrictions that are inherited are aggregated with AND operators and the ones coming the user groups a user belongs to are aggregated with OR operators.
Ex with the following user groups organisation:
G1
G11 (G11 belongs to G1 group)
G2
G21 (G21 belongs to G2 group)
and user U belongs to G11 and G21 user groups.
Final row restriction that applies to the user U is:
(G1 AND G11) OR (G2 AND G21)
Hope it helps.
Cheers

AS/400 Member Tables and Universe Design

Greetings!
Anyone have experience dealing with AS/400 "member" tables in Universe Design? Is there any special trick to importing them to the UNV or is that even required for a report query to access them?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Kevin,
Did you get an answer for your question. Actually I had the same question from a customer who wants to know if we support data on AS/400.
Are we using ODBC for that?

Universe Design - one big one or several subject specific universes?

Hello,
We are scoping out our BO universe design for an SFA/CRM solution.
Source data is Siebel CRM, combined with Sales data from third parties. Limited other data beyond that.
Should we build one big universe with all the subject areas in, or should be build several smaller universes, and ensure we can report across universes (Synchronisation?)
Also, does any one have experience of the siebel rapid marts?
Ian

Ian,
Please keep in mind that the limitation is one connection per universe. So, as long as the data from two sources is merged in one database, you can create one universe.
If it were a dimensional model then it would have been easier to create the universe. The relational schema universes can become complex, but it can definitely be done.
Based on the information you provided, I would say one universe should work. Please let me know if you have any specific questions about building the universe.

Universe Design - Linking two columns in a table to a subordinate table

Post Author: bradwist
CA Forum: Semantic Layer and Data Connectivity
I hope this is the right forum to ask a question about Universe Design. If not, please redirect me. Thanks.
I have a question on a universe design that I am trying to implement. I'll try to simplify to what I really am focusing on here. I've got a table, PersonRelationship, that defines a relationship between two people (Person1, Person2). Both Person entities have a set of data that are contained in the PersonTable. I'm trying to set up a universe design that allows the PersonRelationship table to join to the Person table twice, for Person1 and Person2 (fields are Person1Id and Person2Id respectively).
(below is a poor attempt to draw the table relationships)
Person (table)          PersonRelationship (Table)                  OtherData (table)
PersonId (PK)          RelationshipId (PK)                             OtherDataId (PK)
               ^----
Person1Id (FK)
         ^----
Person2Id (FK)
                               OtherDataId (FK) -
^
I then would like to build a query in Web-I that allows me to query against certain parameters for both Person1 and Person2. For instance, I may want information that reflects when Person1 is male and Person2 is female.
Is there a way to establish this relationship within the universe without having to create two physical tables?
Thanks.

With further information, I believe the answer to this is Aliasing the table. But when I create and Alias of the person table, it doesn't show up in WebI. I only see the original. Not sure what the problem is.

Problem with Queries Structures in Bex Query Designer and Universe Designer

Hi everyone,
I have a problem when i try to do a Universe from a Bex Query Designer.
When I use a Characteristic Restrictions in a Structure, the universe only show me the structure without the objects inside it.
EJ:
1) Bex Query Designer
Colunms
(Structure) ZSRT_123
                      - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Guayana
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'XXX'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'YYY'
     - (Characteristic Restrictions) Reg Caracas
>          (InfoObject)     0Product = 'AAA'
>          (InfoObject)     0Country = 'BBB'
Rows
(Structure) ZSRT_456
               (Key Figure)     Net Sales
2) Universe designer
(Class) ZSRT_456
>(Measure)      Net Sale
(Class)     ZSRT_123
>(Dimension)      ZSRT_123
The universe dont translate the two Characteristic Restrictions in the structure ZSRT_123.
Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
I assume that you are using BOE XI 3.1 SP2.
We have added an option in SP2 to generate or not the L00 level.
Unfortunately this option applies not only on characteristics but also on hierarchies, hierarchies variables and structures: that's the reason why you have no elements belonging to the structure generated.
I recommend to always generate L00 in order to have your structure generated correctly.
This issue will be fixed in SP3.

Didier

How to remove the negative sign in universe designer?

hi all,
have used BEX query designer first to create the query, for the key figures, i have choose 'reverse sign' option and in the BEX analyzer report, it showing correctly with the figure having 'reverse sign'.
however, the 'reverse sign' was not being carried over to universe designer when i tried to create a universe from the BEX query created earlier on. how do i find the option to 'reverse sign' in universe designer for the key figures?
pls help.
thank you.

Hi,
i tried creating new 'measure' object with function 'sum', in the select statement, how should add in the multiply by -1?
i tried typing this -> @Select(Marginal Profit\Marginal Profit) x -1 in the Select box but it failed during the parse part.
FYI, the 'marignal pofit' above is the original 'measure' object that i want to have its negative sign reversed.
pls help.thanks.

Design question: Scheduling a Variable-timeslot Resource

I originally posted this in general java programming, because this seemed like a more high-level design descussion. But now I see some class design questions. Please excuse me if this thread does not belong here (this is my first time using the forum, save answering a couple questions).
Forum,
I am having trouble determining a data structure and applicable algorithm (actually, even more general than the data structure -- the general design to use) for holding a modifiable (but more heavily read/queried than updated), variable-timeslot schedule for a given resource. Here's the situation:
Let's, for explanation purposes, say we're scheduling a school. The school has many resources. A resource is anything that can be reserved for a given event: classroom, gym, basketball, teacher, janitor, etc.
Ok, so maybe the school deal isn't the best example. Let's assume, for the sake of explanation, that classes can be any amount of time in length: 50 minutes, 127 minutes, 4 hours, 3 seconds, etc.
Now, the school has a base operation schedule, e.g. they're open from 8am to 5pm MTWRF and 10am to 2pm on saturday and sunday. Events in the school can only occur during these times, obviously.
Then, each resource has its own base operation schedule, e.g. the gym is open from noon to 5pm MTWRF and noon to 2pm on sat. and sun. The default base operation schedule for any resource is the school which "owns" the resource.
But then there are exceptions to the base operation schedule. The school (and therefore all its resources) are closed on holidays. The gym is closed on the third friday of every month for maintenance, or something like that. There are also exceptions to the available schedule due to reservations. I've implemented reservations as exceptions with a different status code to simplify things a little bit: because the basic idea is that an exception is either an addition to or removal from the scheduleable times of that resource. Each exception (reservation, closed for maintenance, etc) can be an (effectively) unrestricted amount of time.
Ok, enough set up. Somehow I need to be able to "flatten" all this information into a schedule that I can display to the user, query against, and update.
The issue is complicated more by recurring events, but I think I have that handled already and can make a recurring event be transparent from the application point of view. I just need to figure out how to represent this.
This is my current idea, and I don't like it at all:
A TimeSlot object, holding a beginning date and ending date. A data structure that holds list of TimeSlot objects in order by date. I'd probably also hold an index of some sort that maps some constant span of time to a general area in the data structure where times around there can be found, so I avoid O(n) time searching for a given time to find whether or not it is open.
I don't like this idea, because it requires me to call getBeginningDate() and getEndDate() for every single time slot I search.
Anyone have any ideas?

If I am correct, your requirement is to display a schedule, showing the occupancy of a resource (open/closed/used/free and other kind of information) on a time line.
I do not say that your design is incorrect. What I state below is strictly my views and should be treated that way.
I would not go by time-slot, instead, I would go by resource, for instance the gym, the class rooms (identified accordingly), the swimming pool etc. are all resources. Therefore (for the requirements you have specified), I would create a class, lets say "Resource" to represent all the resources. I would recommend two attributes at this stage ("name" & "identifier").
The primary attribute of interest in this case would be a date (starting at 00:00hrs and ending at 24:00hrs.), a span of 24hrs broken to the smallest unit of a minute (seconds really are not very practical here).
I would next encapsulate the availability factor, which represents the concept of availability in a class, for instance "AvailabilityStatus". The recommended attributes would be "date" and "status".
You have mentioned different status, for instance, available, booked, closed, under-maintainance etc. Each of these is a category. Let us say, numbered from 0 to n (where n<128).
The "date" attribute could be a java.util.Date object, representing a date. The "status", is byte array of 1440 elements (one element for each minute of the day). Each element of the byte array is populated by the number designation of the status (i.e, 0,1,2...n etc.), where the numbers represent the status of the minute.
The "Resource" class would carry an attribute of "resourceStatus", an ordered vector of "ResourceStatus" objects.
The object (all the objects) could be populated manually at any time, or the entire process could be automated (that is a separate area).
The problem of representation is over. You could add any number of resources as well as any number of status categories.
This is a simple solution, I do not address the issues of querying this information and rendering the actual schedule, which I believe is straight forward enough.
It is recognized that there are scope for optimizations/design rationalization here, however, this is a simple and effective enough solution.

Row level security at universe design level

Hi,
I am creating a Universe layer on top of non SAP OLAP cube ( from MS Analysis Services 2005 ) .
My concern is that can we maintain the row level or data level security at universe design level or if i am using that universe in creation of WEBI report so is there any possiblity to maintain this security at WEBI level.
Regards,
Mishra Vibhav.

Thanks for the reply.
Much Appriciated.
My only concern is that i read in the Universe Designer developer guide that it does the row level security so can eloborate a bit about how we maintain at Universe level.
Warm Regrads,

SSO does not work in Universe Designer

Hi,
I have a problem getting an error within Universe Designer the error is :
"DBD: Unable to connect to SAP BW server Incomplete logon data"
Installed below :
BOBJ XI 3.1 installed
SAP GUI 7.10
SAP Java Connector
SAP Integration Kit
All is run on the server machine.
SSO setup i CMS etc. and i works fine in the beginning and i can go into Universe Designer and create a SSO connection which responds etc. and i can create universes which is fine. I can go to webi and create an new report using the universe and select som measures and dimension and execute query, but it only works a couple of times then it starts to fails with an xml error. After that going to universe designer an into connection i cannot longer get in touch with my Bex query in SAP BW ! and that is where my problem allways ends, so now i cannot connect using SSO in Universe Designer.
Found technote 1250890 but it only says that i need to install integration kit on my client, but my installation is all i one and is installed.
Any suggestion would be much appreciated !

DECODE SQL Function - Parsing error in Defining Objects in Universe Designe

Hi,
I have created a class and an object in BO XI R3 Universe designer.
I am getting the parsing error while defining the object when using the custom SQL as
select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu
The object Type is "character", i have tried with Long Text, Number, Date as well and the same sql works fine by returning String values through TOAD.
Do we have any constrains in using DECODE in BO XI R3 or any other syntax please....
Please guide me in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Karthik.

Hi,
1.At back end check the data type for matteraction column and define it accordingly in object definition.
2. Try to break your select clause definition into smaller parts and check it where the exact issue is as below
i.select decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019) ............
ii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE') ..........
iii.select decode(matteraction,null,decode(matterissue,null,'MATTER','ISSUE'),decode(matterissue,null,'TYPE IS ACTION',' ACTIONu2019)) as TYPE from wh_cf_cmsu

BOE XI 3.1 - Universe Designer Installation

Guys,
Is it possible to get the UNIVERSE DESIGNER setup (Package) alone instead of go with BOE full installation package?
I have the BOE installation full package.
Every time i am installing the Designer in below way to my users,
Custom/Expand installation --> Deselect all the client components; Select "Universe Designer" --> Install Designer
I want to make the installation in easy way.
I found that 'Web Intelligence Rich Client" Client Package is available in ALONE as well as in BOE FULL Installation Package.
i can install this 'Web Intelligence Rich Client' in either way.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kiruba v.r.

Hi Simon,
I know this process. Even i am doing the same to my users machine.
But i am looking for 'Universe Designer' individual client package as like 'Web Intelligence Rich Client'.
Note: I am not getting any error message.

LDAP design question for multiple sites

LDAP design question for multiple sites
I'm planning to implement the Sun Java System Directory Server 5.2 2005Q1 for replacing the NIS.
Currently we have 3 sites with different NIS domains.
Since the NFS over the WAN connection is very unreliable, I would like to implement as follows:
1. 3 LDAP servers + replica for each sites.
2. Single username and password for every end user cross those 3 sites.
3. Different auto_master, auto_home and auto_local maps for three sites. So when user login to different site, the password is the same but the home directory is different (local).
So the questions are
1. Should I need to have 3 domains for LDAP?
2. If yes for question 1, then how can I keep the username password sync for three domains? If no for question 1, then what is the DIT (Directory Infrastructure Tree) or directory structure I should use?
3. How to make auto map work on LDAP as well as mount local home directory?
I really appreciate that some LDAP experta can light me up on this project.

Thanks for your information.
My current environment has 3 sites with 3 different NIS domainname: SiteA: A.com, SiteB:B.A.com, SiteC:C.A.com (A.com is our company domainname).
So everytime I add a new user account and I need to create on three NIS domains separately. Also, the password is out of sync if user change the password on one site.
I would like to migrate NIS to LDAP.
I want to have single username and password for each user on 3 sites. However, the home directory is on local NFS filer.
Say for userA, his home directory is /user/userA in passwd file/map. On location X, his home directory will mount FilerX:/vol/user/userA,
On location Y, userA's home directory will mount FilerY:/vol/user/userA.
So the mount drive is determined by auto_user map in NIS.
In other words, there will be 3 different auto_user maps in 3 different LDAP servers.
So userA login hostX in location X will mount home directory on local FilerX, and login hostY in location Y will mount home directory on local FilerY.
But the username and password will be the same on three sites.
That'd my goal.
Some LDAP expert suggest me the MMR (Multiple-Master-Replication). But I still no quite sure how to do MMR.
It would be appreciated if some LDAP guru can give me some guideline at start point.
Best wishes
